Any and all Street Works modules can be reassessed on this reassessment course.
We do advise those coming up to the end of their qualification dates, usually 6 months of the qualification's expiry, to book in a reassessment. We recommend reassessing early, as any remaining time will be added to the renewed qualifications, and also avoids running the risk of the qualifications lapsing. Should this happen, you would be ineligible to conduct works in the street and road, and could also void any insurance coverage on these jobs.
